Stream Kindling Galaxies EP

The thick, mucky air that makes up Kindling’s sound might feel crushing, like it’s weighing you down with its gravity, but its atmosphere isn’t impossible to traverse. The four-piece from Massachusetts bring buzzsaw guitars and dense layers of fuzz into a melodic, occasionally buoyant realm, and manage to quench a thirst for ugliness and prettiness all at once. Between the searing, full-throttle thrust of “Blinding Wave” and the punishing weight behind “Painkiller,” Galaxies is a gritty yet savory collection of shoegaze.
